"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?"
"Be careful! There is a master in the house!"
"Where's Onodera? Is Onodera inside?!"
…
The woods that were originally peaceful suddenly became extremely noisy.
The sound of footsteps stepping on grass blades, shouts at the top of one's throat, the sound of a knife being unsheathed... all kinds of sounds blended together, one after another, hovering over the woods for a long time.
The first five enemies who entered the house were all killed by Qingdeng's sword.
The unexpected heavy casualties shocked this group of "uninvited guests".
They were confused for a moment and exited the thatched hut one after another, not daring to come any closer.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qingdeng flicked his right wrist, shook off the blood on the knife, and ran to the door of the house in three steps and two steps at a time. He pressed his body against the wall and poked his head out of the door frame to peek at the situation outside the house.
"There are many guests coming..."
Among the shades of trees, figures swayed.
Unidentified mysterious people with weapons in hand broke into Qingdeng's vision one after another.
In the blink of an eye, a huge surrounding net descended outside the thatched house.
At this time, Sanako, Souji, and Onodera also quickly came to the door of the house, imitating Aoto's example, leaning against the wall, sticking their heads out, and looking outside the house.
"Oops! They're coming after us!"
Shock, anger... and worry appeared on Onodera's expression.
Qingdeng, who did not dare to look away from the outside of the house, asked without looking back:
"Who do you mean 'they'?"
"The Black Mother Clothes of the Qingshui Clan!"
"...That's really a rare visitor here to help."
During the Warring States Period in Japan, it was common to see a kind of strange-looking knight: they always carried a big baggage, and most of the big baggage was very brightly colored.
This big burden is called "mother's clothing". The production process is relatively simple, just use a bamboo frame to stretch the cloth into a big ball.
The original meaning of mother's clothing is the placenta when a woman is pregnant.
Because it can effectively protect against arrows and stone attacks from the rear and sides, a samurai wearing this armor feels as safe as staying in his mother's womb, hence the name "mother's clothing".
In fact, in addition to blocking the flow of arrows, the mother's clothing also has an important function, which is to strengthen the momentum.
As we all know, Japanese people are generally short in stature, and mother's clothing can make the wearer visually look taller and more powerful.
From the appearance point of view, the shape of the mother's clothes is simply ugly.
However, for samurai, mother's clothing is a symbol of glory.
Those who are qualified to wear mother's clothing are warriors with high status and strong combat effectiveness. They are equivalent to the general's direct bodyguards. They are mainly responsible for important tasks such as raising flags, delivering orders, reconnaissance, and general attacks.
The Qingshui clan is a Yakuza organization.
Since it is a Yakuza organization, it is naturally not lacking in violence and evil.
Assassinations, conflagrations, conquests...these are the daily routine of the Yakuza organization.
Therefore, in order to maintain their status, the Qingshui clan selected and raised a group of skilled warriors to form a fighting force dedicated to eradicating, destroying, and killing people. Their name is... "The Black Mother Clothes"!
Although they were nicknamed "Black Mother's Clothes," members of the team did not wear black women's clothing.
The reason for this name is to declare to the world that this force is an elite fighting force under the Qingshui clan!
"They are the Black Mother Clothes of the Qingshui Clan..."
Souji murmured, showing a look of disdain involuntarily.
As a unit specially responsible for handling "dirty work", although the Black Mother Clothes cannot be said to be infamous, they can also be said to be notorious.
Killing a whole family, raping women, torturing corpses... what the Black Mothers did was extremely cruel! Extremely bloody!
No human being with a normal mind would have a favorable impression of such a "murderous group" that is full of evil.
"Mr. Onodera, if I heard correctly... the black women's clothes outside the house seem to be here for you."
"Um...yes...you heard that right."
"... Darling, you are actually being chased by so many people. You really have a lot of cards on your hands."
Although Qingdeng's lips were smiling, there was no smile in his eyes.
This is normal.
No one would be in the mood to laugh after seeing such a scene - the shadows of people finally stopped spitting out from the depths of the trees. But on the contrary, the thatched house was surrounded by densely packed warriors.
Their siege of Qingdeng and others was not a random and chaotic gathering. Instead, they formed a tight formation that was well-proportioned and orderly, and the distance between them was perfectly controlled.
This alone is enough to show how extraordinary the Black Mother Clothes are.
No matter Aoshinobu, Souji or Sanako, they all held their faces and held their breaths, and spoke seriously at this time.
The tense confrontation with murderous intent, the solemn atmosphere of tension... Every scene and scene here and now all point to the same fact: a tragic life-and-death battle is about to break out!
After a short rest, the Black Mother Clothes, who had been beaten to a pulp by Qingden's "blow" just now, have regained their strength.
A strong man with big shoulders and round waist stepped forward and shouted loudly:
"Onodera! Surrender obediently!"
"Because you have made great contributions to the Qingshui clan and shed blood, as long as you are willing to surrender obediently, I can keep your body intact!"
After finishing his words, the strong man showed a smug expression on his face, "How is it? I'm sincere, right?"
However, his "sincerity" did not result in pitiful begging for surrender.
"snort!"
Onodera snorted heavily, and then said word by word without thinking:
"Now that things have happened, I, Onodera Sakura, only know that there is glory in death but no shame in life!"
Before Onodera said nothing, the strong man looked calm and dignified.
And now, his big, fleshy face was distorted comically.
"Okay! I have the guts!"
The strong man shouted sternly like boiling water suddenly overflowing.
"Onodera! Just wait for me! I will send you to hell right now!"
"Although you have hired experts to help you, this small change will not harm the overall situation at all!"
"Come on! Whoever cuts off the head of Onodera will be rewarded with 50 taels of gold! Whoever cuts off the heads of Onodera's companions will also be rewarded with 50 taels of gold!"
50 taels of gold... This is a huge amount of money that can drive a poor man crazy!
There is a saying: Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men.
Huge wealth can make human beings lose their ability to judge calmly and become beasts that follow their desires.
As of just now, many of the black women at the scene were still timid and fearful after seeing Qingdeng's powerful skills.
But now, their eyes have changed.
If everyone goes together, they might be able to fish in troubled waters and kill their opponents in the chaos - this kind of wishful thinking spreads in their minds like a whirlwind.
"superior!"
The strong man raised his big hand and waved it down with all his strength.
"Kill everyone in the house!"
As soon as the strong man's words came out, the black women immediately howled like beasts.
"Kill ah ah ah!"
"I'm going to decide Onodera's head!"
"Get away! Don't fight with me!"
Facing the swarming enemies, Qingdeng remained unwavering.
Onodera is an associate of Tachibana Takayuki.
Tachibana Takayuki has passed away long ago.
On the other hand, Onodera has lived until now.
Although he is not sure yet, Aomori has roughly guessed why Onodera was hunted down by the Black Mother Clothes until today.
Aomori still had many questions for Onodera.
Therefore, even if there are thousands of troops in front of him, he will never give in even half a step!
Onodera's life was guaranteed by him!
"Okita-kun! Miss Sanako!"
Qingdeng shouted the names of the two girls and then readied the knife.
"Let's go!"
"clear!"
Souji replied loudly with her signature energetic voice.
"..."
Sanako did not change her elegant nature. Although she did not shout, she silently assumed a fighting posture.
In the next breath, Qingdeng jumped out of the thatched hut in one breath without a run-up, and used gravity to chop down the knife raised above his head.
Phew!
The cracked head looked like a broken watermelon.
As soon as his feet landed on the ground, Qingdeng used the tip of his left toe as an axis, turned around, and swung his sword - the blade traced an arc and slashed towards the enemy on his left side.
With the support of centrifugal force, how powerful is this slash?
With just one strike, the opponent's upper and lower body were separated.
Immediately afterwards, Qingdeng seemed to have eyes on his back. He swept the knife behind him with his backhand, slashing across the enemy who was chasing him from behind.
This time, Qingdeng's offensive was blocked.
clang!
Just at the critical moment when the sword light of Echizen Hitachi Shoujie was about to engulf the enemy's mouth and nose, the enemy raised the sword in his palm in time and caught Ayoto's slash.
However...it was just "caught".
"Whoa!"
The enemy screamed, then staggered backwards holding the knife that was struck back.
Now that he has many abnormal talents, Qingdeng's slashes are no longer something that ordinary people can withstand.
The enemy clenched his teeth and exerted force on his lower limbs, barely holding himself steady.
But what followed was Qingdeng’s pursuit...
Natural Rishin-ryu·Sword of Ignorance!
Poof!
The flat blade penetrated the gap between the enemy's chest and ribs.
Go in with the left chest and come out with the back.
The white knife goes in and the red blade comes out.
The enemy's eyes suddenly widened due to severe pain, and the whites of his eyes were filled with red blood.
When Qingdeng pulled the knife back, life force spurted out from the hole in the enemy's chest along with bright red blood, giving off a foul smell.
The next second, the enemy's head dragged his body and fell forward slumped.
The body collided hard with the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"Go to hell! Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Qingdeng didn't even have time to breathe out before he heard heavy, rapid footsteps coming from behind him again.
He had to turn around with the knife in hand, preparing to enter the next battle that was about to come.
The new opponent appears, a tall guy who uses an Odachi.
He shouted loudly while raising the huge blade above his head.
At the same time, he looked determined to win, presumably because he was very confident in his own skills.
Because the length of the Odachi is much longer than that of a katana, the first person to enter the opponent's best attack range will definitely be Aonto.
Just when a fierce battle of "Tatami vs. Odachi" is about to break out——
Poof!
A few scattered drops of blood splashed onto Qingdeng's face.
This is not Qingdeng’s blood.
But the blood of Gao Lao.
Qingden blinked in surprise.
At this moment, a picture that is both horrifying and aesthetically violent unfolds before his eyes——
The tall man was frozen in place, his chest was pierced, and the naginata blade passed through his chest.
"Uh...! Puff! Cough!"
Although he tried his best to endure it, Gao Lao couldn't help but cough up a large mouthful of blood.
"Who is it...?!"
Gao Lao squeezed out the last bit of strength left in his body and turned his head to look back with difficulty.
Then, his eyes straightened.
The person who made him "open-minded"... turned out to be a woman.
And she's a very beautiful woman.
A ponytail tied high and hanging down to the waist.
Women's kendo uniform with white top and blue bottom.
A beautiful face that would captivate the entire country.
It's none other than Chiba Sanako!
In order to facilitate movement, Sanako threw away the obstructive hat at the beginning of the battle, revealing his peerless appearance.
Soon enough, Sanako gave a sweet shout and used both arms to withdraw the naginata from Gao Lao's chest.
"The front and the heart lead to the back"...Hua Tuo would shake his head when he saw such an injury.
Gao Lao, who was left with only out air but no air in, fell limply to the ground as if the blade of a naginata had slipped off.
At this time, perhaps seeing that Sanako was a woman and thinking that she was easy to bully, nearly 10 enemies rushed towards Sanako from different directions like wolves and tigers.
Obviously, these people have no sympathy for her.
Under the temptation of 50 taels of gold, mere beauty is not worth mentioning at all!
Seeing the numerous attackers, Sanako was neither frightened nor frightened.
She calmly raised the knife with her legs crossed, and her heroic eyes followed the blade and swept across the enemies around her.
In the Heian, Kamakura, and Muromachi shogunate periods when spears were not yet popular, the naginata, which could stab, cut, fight on horseback, and fight on foot, was the undoubted melee overlord on the battlefield!
The naginata used by Sanako is a standard "women's naginata".
During the Onin Rebellion, the naginata was replaced by the spear because it was not suitable for intensive combat.
By the Edo period, due to various coincidences, naginata became "the compulsory martial art for girls of the samurai family."
In order to make it easier for women to wield it, the "women's naginata" came into being.
Compared with the traditional naginata, the blade width of the women's naginata is very narrow.
If the head of the traditional naginata is the ghost sword, then the head of the women's naginata is the katana.
The narrowing of the blade width makes the destructive power of the women's naginata far less than that of the traditional naginata.
But in contrast, the agility and slashing speed of women's naginata are far superior to traditional naginata!
The length advantage of the naginata allowed Sanako to take advantage of attacking first.
I saw Sanako's two bright wrists turning dexterously, and the nearly 2-meter-long naginata drew a beautiful arc in the air.
The blade, as slender as a willow leaf, cut off the heads of two people in one go.
When he waved again, the heads of two more people fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Sanako exerted force with his feet, carried his waist with his feet, carried his arms with his waist, and carried a knife with his arms. He stabbed forward and connected someone's front and back.
This heroic figure wielding the naginata as easily as twirling lamp grass is really like a Valkyrie!
